The men's hurdles (13.06 & 13.13) were run with a -1.2 wind!

what's the -1.2 work out to if you convert the times?

It actually helps some, greatly hinders others.

Nice 4x100 and 4x400 by the Japanese too.

My understanding is that a slight headwind helps tall hurdlers, hinders shorties. I doubt that -1.2 helps anyone. I big tailwind is supposed to blow tall hurdlers into the hurdles but helps the short guys sail.
